Committee actions are distinct from sanctions adopted by the full Senate. A jurisdictional closure is not exoneration. Annual reports describe committee-wide activity; their totals do not establish outcomes for named people. An unavailable or unreadable source leaves its contents unknown. Catalog dates and document dates are kept separately. Indexed extracts are labeled separately from original bytes; their fingerprints do not authenticate an original PDF.
